Lycopene Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisBackground : Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a well-established surrogate marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and a predictor of cardiovascular risk.1Cavero-Redondo I (2026)Circulating Lycopene and β-Carotene Levels Are Inversely Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Lycopene Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisCarotenoids, particularly lycopene and β-carotene, have been proposed as protective antioxidants against vascular damage, but evidence from population-based studies is inconsistent.1Cavero-Redondo I (2026)Circulating Lycopene and β-Carotene Levels Are Inversely Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Lycopene Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisSubgroup and meta-regression analyses explored potential modifiers, including sex and cardiovascular risk factors.1Cavero-Redondo I (2026)Circulating Lycopene and β-Carotene Levels Are Inversely Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Lycopene Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisMarked inconsistencies were found between the declared and measured lycopene content, with HPLC revealing concentrations up to 70% above label claims.4Sikorska-Zimny K (2026)Preliminary Quality and Safety Evaluation of Lycopene-Based Dietary Supplements: Analysis of Active Compound Content, Microbiological Purity, and Chemical Contaminants.
Lycopene Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisDietary supplements, especially lycopene-containing ones, are of interest because of their antioxidant and potential health-promoting effects; however, their actual composition and safety have not been sufficiently verified.4Sikorska-Zimny K (2026)Preliminary Quality and Safety Evaluation of Lycopene-Based Dietary Supplements: Analysis of Active Compound Content, Microbiological Purity, and Chemical Contaminants.
Lycopene Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisThis study evaluated the accuracy of labelled lycopene content and assessed selected chemical and microbiological safety parameters in commercially available products.4Sikorska-Zimny K (2026)Preliminary Quality and Safety Evaluation of Lycopene-Based Dietary Supplements: Analysis of Active Compound Content, Microbiological Purity, and Chemical Contaminants.
